You charaterize them too stupid to be able to tell the difference between a drunken tourist and a businessman, so childlike (of perhaps wild and immoral) so as to be unable to control themselves like westerners who should know better, and so bigoted that the sight of a drunken white tourist will lead their simple minds to believe all whites are drunken tourists.VLayHo-ho-ho wrote:...westerners should know better.
Nothing else rings true-r.

Khmer are such a model of sobriety and refinement, i am sure they are shocked by our orgiastic and disgraceful behavior.

Recent events regarding foreigners have emphasized what this topic is all about. But it's not all just Westerners acting out, there is still no justice for Mr. Beecher.

...for anyone. Not for khmers, not for barangs. Same, same - injustice for all. No reason to get upset.VLayHo-ho-ho wrote:...there is still no justice ...
I was trying to explain the principle of the justice system to a khmer friend. I got bogged down immediately.
Difficult to describe alien abstract concepts like equality in a culture of hierarchy.
The police are there to work on behalf of the population...yeah, right.
